The debut of the Precision Bass in 1951 is arguably one of the most important milestones of the 20th Century. The P-Bass gave bass players a means to be heard clearly while eliminating the need to lug around a heavy (and fragile) upright bass. It also profoundly changed the sound of popular music and gave birth to a slew of new musical styles.

This heavy relic Nocaster P-Bass offers the appointments that made the original the undisputed champion of working bassists the world over, including a supremely fast and comfortable tinted quartersawn maple neck with a 7.25"" fingerboard radius, '51-‘55 P Bass bridge with vintage fiber bridge saddles. It also boasts an original slab-style Precision Bass body with a beautifully relic'd NOS finish that lets the instrument breathe more organically and shows some of the natural grain through the finish.

Other features of the Heavy Relic Custom Shop 1951 Precision Bass include Closet Classic hardware, a 2-piece relic'd ash body, 20 vintage frets, '55 P Bass pickup, volume and tone controls, an aged single-ply black pickguard, bone nut, round string retainer and vintage-style tuning machines.

A living legend, this Precision Bass sounds and looks just as good now as the original did back in 1951. Includes a deluxe hardshell case, strap and Certificate of Authenticity.
